Left Dorsal Amygdala response to Mother’s Face facilitates reaction time via Cortical Mediators. A) Left dorsal amygdala activity to mother’s face is negatively associated with reaction time to mother’s face (C). However, inclusion of the vmPFC and left motor cortex completely mediates this association between amygdala activity and reaction time (C’). Unstandardized coefficients are provided along with standard errors in parentheses. B) Plotted is the amount of variance in reaction time that is explained by vmPFC and motor cortex activity, controlling for amygdala and caudate/putamen activity. vmPFC = ventromedial prefrontal cortex
